A look into my life as I make a major life transition to the Middle East. The challenges I will undoubtedly face, the victories to come, and the memories to be made, all strung together in the hopes to make up my hollywood ending...

I guess it is pretty obvious by now my New Years Resolution was not to write more blog posts, or if it was I get an epic fail. I have been floundering around for sometime trying to really define what this blog is about. To be fair Dubai and I do not always love each other, we have our ups and downs like any normal person/new city relationship, but I do not want this to turn into a "a woe is I and Dubai," montage. So I have kept my silence but with some persistence things are getting slightly more exciting in our world.

We move into a new apartment next week. We do not have the epic views but it is a fabulously spacious place and I get to organize it just so, I am sure the other two will not mind a bit. E and I jet set off to the Maldives in a few weeks, which is bound to be awesome. If you do not believe me, just google it, check out the images section...I will wait... While E is on the island my friends and I have been working as a collective team to get out of the house and do more adventurous activities. Two weeks ago we went rock climbing. I was literally shaking up there ready to hyperventilate but I made it to the top. Last week we went to a Dubai Meet-Up, a group of random people who happen to have common interests. Naturally, we went to the wine tasting group, made some new friends and had a good night on the town. We have also implemented Yoga Mondays, enough said. And next up I am planning to dig very deep into my past, buy a new pair of cleats and hit the soccer field, ahem football (to be UK/Dubai/the rest of the world appropriate) and join a women's league. It has been at least five years since I have touched a ball, but it used to be something that I love and I am coming back to my roots. And hopefully making a few friends in the mean time.

So we are keeping busy round these parts. I do need to give a very special shout out to my love who turned 28 last weekend, we even squeezed in a little beer pong, to take us back to our glory days. We had an amazing time and we were surrounded by some fab people. Happy Birthday E!

About Me

I am a girl from the Mid-West about to embark on a huge adventure. I am packing up my life and headed to the Middle East, to meet new people, experience life, and live it in the moment. Scared? A bit. Anxious? Absolutely. Excited? You bet your pants.
